I never understood this. We (so-wisco) have winter every year. We have arguably some of the best snow cleanup crews in the country. Yet first snowfall of the year every one is freaking out driving 20 mph under the limit.

Thought I would share the time lapse videos from fixing my M3. Its a cross post from the bmw thread. The only part that has recorded audio is the end when I check fuel lines and drive shaft balance.

He doesn't pull the gun away from the initial tack weld so he has to do a quick trigger pull to free the wire that is fused to the weld. Thus, you get BZZZZZZZZZT...BZT for every tack. No idea why this method versus just pulling out first time.

It's like a parody, I swear. Also the Beretta is a weirdly long car. It doesn't look that way from the outside but in the driver's seat it's like you're 18 feet back from the nose.

Agreed, I think if he and Tiff teamed up for a show it would be better than Top Gear. Two of my fav car hosts, by far.

Yes, yes you are.

His gimmick would have gotten old except for the fact he also throws in some really good knowledge and history in a lot of his reviews. Any number of his reviews are actually pretty drat good observations on the car or the time it comes from.

I like Harris because he gives a proper review, is competent behind the wheel, and has great enthusiasm. His comedy is incidental, and if you're watching it for the comedy, you're missing the point.

However, I think both Leno and the Roadkill guys trump Top Gear and Harris at this point.

Yes, EVERY state.

Also should be mandatory viewing for every person that thinks AWD is a must have/the only possible option for a winter driven car.

Proper tires and knowing how to handle low traction situations is far more important.
